Anxiety

When your mind
is constantly on alert.

Anxiety can affect your body, sleep, concentration and everyday life. At AlmaraClinic, we take an integrated clinical approach to understand the underlying causes of your symptoms and define the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.

Anxiety

When your mind
can’t switch off.

Anxiety is a clinical condition that can affect the body, sleep, concentration, breathing, decision-making and the way a person experiences everyday life.

It is more than simply “feeling nervous”. Anxiety can involve persistent activation of brain circuits linked to fear, vigilance, anticipation and the body’s stress response.

For some people, this state becomes so intense or frequent that it interferes with rest, productivity, relationships and their overall sense of well-being.

A clinical assessment helps identify the underlying pattern of anxiety and define the most appropriate, personalised treatment plan.

CLINICAL EVIDENCE

Scientific evidence in depression with anxiety symptoms.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive medical technology studied in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder, including cases where anxiety symptoms are also present.
FDA

rTMS is FDA-cleared for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adults who have not responded adequately to antidepressant medication.

35–55%

of patients with anxiety symptoms associated with depression achieve a significant clinical response, typically defined as a ≥50% reduction in anxiety symptom severity.*

23–30%

of patients may achieve clinical remission of anxiety symptoms following a complete course of treatment.*

4–5

weeks is the period during which clinical response is commonly consolidated in patients with comorbid anxiety symptoms.*

*Data based on published clinical studies, meta-analyses and systematic reviews of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in Major Depressive Disorder with comorbid anxiety symptoms. Individual outcomes may vary depending on clinical profile, symptom severity, treatment protocol, number of sessions and medical follow-up.
